"Castaway" by Jerry Cantrell

Written by Jerry Cantrell

Day break, wind is blowing strong 
No escape, caught on a reef in the storn 
Castaway, licking his cracked lips sore 
Patient, waits, hoping the rats reach the
shore...yeah...yeah 

Yesterday, seems a lifetime now 
Remembering those he left and how 
Out in space laughing at all below 
Island stage, plays to his thoughts and ego...yeah...yeah 

Dusk fall, fading sun no fire light 
Memories amplify his plight 
Gathering, searching for shelter above 
Feel the sting, choking on hoarded love...yeah...yeah 

Thin, cold, tired...castaway
